Raul and I dined at Tifeo, an Italian restaurant on Monroe
St., on Friday 21 April. I had a cup of clam chowder, peppered with oyster soup
crackers; we both split a 14’’ pizza. I ordered an APA (named Dale’s Pale Ale);
Raul had one too. He asked me what the difference was between types of beer,
and what a pale ale was. I explained that different brewing recipes yield different
types of beer, pointing out, for example, that the concentration of hops in it
makes the difference. My major is chemical and bio-medical engineering; I
vented to him about the busy week I’d had: an exam in process-control Thursday,
a 12 page term paper on signal transduction, stem cell engineering, and cochlear prosthesis due Wednesday, a presentation on
Wednesday night on that same topic, a concert Wednesday night with one of FSUs
chamber orchestras (I was assistant concertmaster) where I played Bach and Dvořák,
a lab report due Tuesday, and on Monday, a presentation on my senior capstone
project, which I’d completed the weekend before. It all went splendidly! I
spoke at length with Raul about my senior project, which investigated a few alternate
carbon dioxide recovery processes, and he seemed to have grasped the gist of it.
We plant to go to the beach next time.
